Does the ceiling fan affect the sound?


Hi everyone,

The ceiling fans generate a large wind in the center of my listening room....Duh.

The tweeter's tiny movements are minuscule especially when compared to the giant fan blade motion. 

I think this is affecting the quality of sound. To me, this seems similar to trying to watch the ripples from a pebble through a boat wake. The ripples get lost in the larger waves. 

Of course I can turn on the A/C, but that has a whole other set of noise issues. 

What do you think?  Do you hear a difference when the ceiling fan is on?

Thanks,

Anyone here heard of the "Leslie" effect. In short, this distorts the sound with a ceiling fan running in the listening room.
Just take a table fan and crank it up. Have one person on one side of the fan talk to you while you are on the other side of the fan. What do you hear? Now tell me if a fan affects the sound, or not.....
